Some
information about the 1&1 Green Program

1&1 has
partnered with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF)
to offset 100% of the energy usage of our data center in Lenexa, Kansas by purchasing
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The majority of the RECs will be sourced
from the Bowersock Mills and Power Company’s
hydroelectric facility in Lawrence, Kansas. This hydroelectric facility
is certified low impact by the Low Impact Hydro Institute (LIHI).

1&1’s
renewable energy purchase for the facility is enough clean
energy to power at least 300 U.S. homes for one year!

1&1 and BEF work in tandem with Green-e, the nation's leading voluntary certification program for renewable energy, to power our data center with clean, renewable energy. Green-e certifies renewable energy that meets environmental and consumer protection standards that it developed in conjunction with leading environmental, energy and policy organizations.

1&1 has also been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Green Power Partner for its annual purchase of 17.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power (electricity that is generated from environmentally preferable renewable resources, like wind, solar, hydroelectric and geothermal).
